All-Inclusive Resorts in the Caribbean 

While we love using our points for hotel stays and flights, it’s even better if those points can pay for your meals, drinks, and snacks on vacation, too! If the Caribbean is on your bucket list, you can book many all-inclusive resorts with various types of points in different locations throughout this gorgeous part of the world. Here’s our list of all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean you can book with points!

 

Hilton La Romana (Dominican Republic – Hilton Points) 

Between Punta Cana and Santo Domingo, Hilton La Romana has sandy beaches and stunning water for your vacation. The Hilton La Romana offers both a family-focused all-inclusive resort and an adults-only hotel, so there’s something for whatever type of trip you want to have.

The adults-only resort features a private beach, two pools, five restaurants, and five bars/lounges. This Hilton also has a casino, spa, and resort activities like dance lessons.

The family-focused resort features four outdoor pools, six restaurants, and a kids’ club and teens’ club for the family. If you’re looking for an underwater adventure, this property even has its own dive center.

Sample Booking: Let’s say you’re planning an adults-only getaway with your Player 2 or a friend. I found standard room availability in the adults-only section of this resort in September for 86,000 points per night. That’s good value for your points at a high-end, all-inclusive resort. 

Booking Tips: 

• Use Hilton’s flexible date calendar to search for standard room availability. 
• If you can find standard room availability, booking this hotel with one of your Hilton free-night certificates might make sense, depending on the price. They are my favorite certificates because of the outsized value they offer! 
• Hilton offers a fifth night free on award stays if you have silver status or higher. This offer is for points-only bookings and cannot be combined with free-night certificates. 

Redeem four nights, and get the fifth night free when you redeem points for a consecutive five-night Hilton Hotel stay. You can receive a fifth reward night free, redeemable at that same hotel during that same stay.

 

 

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada (Dominican Republic – IHG Points) 

Iberostar Waves Costa Dorada is an all-inclusive resort in beautiful Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic. This family-friendly resort has direct access to a gorgeous beach and has a main pool as well as two children’s pools. This nature-inspired property has plenty to do for active families, like archery, beach volleyball, and tennis.

The hotel has a main buffet restaurant and specialty restaurants serving Mexican, Italian, and Japanese cuisine. Puerto Plata also offers many activities away from the resort, such as an art museum, a cable car, shopping, and a rum tour. 

Sample Booking: You can book this property for four nights over the July 4 U.S. holiday for 55,000 IHG points per night. 

Booking Tips: 

• If you have the fourth night free benefit through an IHG credit card, you could book this stay for 41,250 IHG points per night. You could possibly have enough points for this stay with just one welcome offer!
• If you’re traveling at an off-peak time, make sure you’re not better off booking the trip with cash. Ideally, you want to get at least 0.5 cents per point for your IHG points. 

Redeem three nights, and get the fourth night free when you redeem points for a consecutive four-night IHG® hotel stay. You can receive a fourth reward night free, redeemable at that same hotel during that same stay.

 

 

Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall (Jamaica – Hyatt Points)  

Island life can be fun for the whole family at Hyatt Ziva Rose Hall in Montego Bay, Jamaica. The resort has 16 restaurants and bars and 24-hour room service. The resort has 277 rooms and suites, many featuring stunning ocean views, including some swim-up options. While the kids enjoy the club, you can pamper yourself at the resort’s tranquil spa.  

Sample Booking: For 35,000 points per night, you can book a standard room for two people at this resort in October (or any off-peak date with availability). 

Booking Tips: 

• The points price increases when you add more than two people to the room. I suggest calling to find out the cash price to add your kids onto a points reservation, which may help you avoid spending thousands of valuable points! 

• This hotel is a Category E on Hyatt’s award chart, which means standard rooms for two people will cost 35,000 to 45,000 points per night. 

 

 

Coming Soon: Secrets St. Lucia (Hyatt Points) 

If you’re looking for an adults-only getaway later in 2025 or beyond, consider Secrets St. Lucia. This property is scheduled to open in June 2025. This resort is slated to have an infinity pool and a Preferred Club pool, a spa, and many entertainment and sports options. The rooms look beautiful and some include swim-out access! Dining options include nine restaurants with five à la carte gourmet options. 

Booking Tip: 

• This resort can currently be booked between 21,000 and 29,000 points per night. Hyatt often introduces all-inclusive hotels at a lower category before increasing the price in subsequent years. So, if you’re interested in this resort, book soon! 

 

 

Wyndham Alltra Punta Cana (Dominican Republic – Wyndham Points)

While Wyndham is known for its budget properties in the U.S., internationally, you can find higher-end options, such as the Wyndham Alltra all-inclusive resort in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. The recently renovated Wyndham Alltra sits on Punta Cana’s Uvero Alto Beach, offering a family-friendly escape. The resort offers adults a free-form pool, fitness center, luxurious spa, game room, and movie theater. Younger travelers can enjoy a pirate-themed water park, an outdoor play area, and kids’ clubs. In addition to the property’s 20 restaurants and bars, you can dine on your balcony with 24/7 room service. 

Sample Booking: This property is currently at the top of Wyndham’s award chart, and you can book it for 30,000 Wyndham points. While redeeming points for this stay might not make sense at off-peak times, standard rooms cost more than $600 per night at peak times. 

Booking Tip: 

• If you have one of the Wyndham Earner credit cards, you can get a 10% discount on Wyndham points bookings. 
• Short on points for this stay? Wyndham frequently offers sales on their points. I don’t recommend buying speculatively, but it can make sense if you have a specific stay in mind, and the points price is less than the cash cost of your planned stay. 

 

 

Bottom Line

If sandy beaches, warm sunshine, and great value for your points are at the top of your wish list, an all-inclusive stay in the Caribbean is the perfect way to turn your dream vacation into reality.

Imagine waking up to breathtaking ocean views and enjoying endless sunshine—all while knowing that your meals, drinks, and activities are already covered. Whether you’re lounging by the turquoise waters of Jamaica, snorkeling in the Dominican Republic, or checking out that new resort in St. Lucia, all-inclusive resorts in the Caribbean make it easy to indulge in luxury without constantly checking your budget.
